Oh - how do you like Carson? I have to say, it is not my favorite of this area. I grew up in Minden, moved to Reno for college...Carson was always just that town I drove through to get from one to the other!!

Where exactly is Minden? It's up North too, right?

Minden is about 50 miles south of Reno. In between Reno and Minden is Carson City. Minden is beautiful. The Sierra mountain range ends in the Carson Valley (where Minden and Gardnerville are) and the mountains are spectacular!

LOL - that is true Laura. DH grew up in Carson and his parents live in Lakeview - they came SOOO close to losing their house in the Waterfall Fire. It was within 100 yards of them. So lucky

Anywhere is prettier than Vegas. I love Vegas, but it's not a pretty place in my opinion. There are quite a few pretty places within a short drive (Red Rock, Valley of Fire, Mount Charleston), but I don't see that on a day to day basis.
